Gun Control & RKBA
Showing Original Post only (View all)We need a Pro-RKBA group on DU [View all]
Those who support the RKBA are harassed and intimidated by those who do not here in the RKBA group. This is especially true for newbie posters who are scared out of the pond by the "big fish". It would be a good place to further discussion and share info with each other in a peaceful friendly manner without all of the personal insults and harassment.
There are many 2nd amendment supporters and firearms owners here that would support an additional non-battleground group (safe haven)
